Children as young as three struggling with body image

Some children are starting to worry about body image at a surprisingly young age according to a new study.

Research from the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY) suggests that children as young as three will sometimes refer to their 鈥渇at tummies鈥�, with the problem getting more acute among six to 10-year-olds.

Joanna spoke to Dr Jacqueline Harding, who is from the charity which carried out the study and Kayleigh Hollingsworth, who is an Early Years Practitioner running a nursery in Scunthorpe.
